Chuck- I'm curious about your design for bino solar filters; I've been giving something like that some thought. My guess is you are adapting a [large] PVC fitting to cover the binoculars?
Well, I'm using PVC pipe as a foundation, but will turn it on the mini-lathe to clean it up. Will make a cap and retianer with the router. If you have seen the filters I made for my small refractors, it will look just like those, like a TO except plastic instead of aluminum. A little more time-consuming to make, but more ecconomical on the filter material and more appealing from a looks standpoint. C. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
